Maple Sugar, Organic

Maple Sugar, Organic

The original all natural American sweetener has been produced in North
America for over 200 years. Made by evaporating more water from pure maple
syrup and controlling the crystallization process during cooling.

Give your cooking a new taste sensation. Granulated maple sugar may be
used in hot cereals, coffee, or sprinkled on toast. You may use it in recipes
in place of white or brown sugar. Like all maple products, it has less
calories, and is more readily used by your body, than stored.

Maple Sugar is a 100% natural sweetener made solely from the sap of a sugar
maple tree (Acer sacchrum). Nothing is ever added, absolutely no artificial
colors, flavors, or preservatives. Unlike white sugar which, through its
production, is stripped of its nutrients, and brown sugar, which is simply
white sugar mixed with molasses, maple sugar is rich in potassium, calcium,
and iron and is 100% fat free.

Azure Farm is located in the foothills east of Mt. Hood with a fantastic
view of the Cascades and farm land in the valleys below. This is wheat
growing country where dry-land farming produces an abundance of soft white
wheat and other grains. But what makes our farm different from most other
wheat farms is our growing practices. We’ve been growing organically for
over 25 years, and are attempting to go beyond basic “organic” (which only
ensures which harmful things have not been used). We try to keep up with
organic soil amendments that will actually improve our soil, and consequently
improve the food itself.

Any items with the Azure Farm label which are not grown on Azure Farm,
are from farms which we know have been growing organically for many years,
doing whatever they can to ensure healthy soil, so the food on your table
is also healthy.

Why go organic? Organic foods are grown without synthetic fertilizers,
pesticides, or herbicides. Organic foods are not genetically modified.
Organic foods are grown in soil that is nurtured, not treated... which
means top soil, groundwater, rivers, lakes, streams, watersheds, fish &
wildlife, and people are not compromised. Healthy food grows in healthy
soil. You can often taste the organic difference!
